|
|
|
From the intersection of County Roads 216 and 261, take the gravel access road east for about 0.7 miles and park along the side of the road
|
|
|
|
WHY:
|
This 138 kilovolt transmission line will be installed on existing towers that run from the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant to a new substation on Route 4 in Sandusky County, a distance of about 30 miles.
|
|
|
|
While some of the towers along the route are accessible from the ground, several of the towers are located in sensitive wetland areas, and accessing these towers from the air minimizes the environmental impact of the work.
